Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

hey.
i�ve been looking into that quiet often .

1. replacement is not straight forward as the pots are soldered into the 
ledring�s housing and hard to reach. desoldering those encoders needs to 
be done with a lot of care as not to damage the circuit board itself. 
best bet is to clip them of from the top (inside the ledring�s housing) 
, then carefully use solder braid from the bottom side and finally a 
suction pump to get the remainig bits out of the holes. clean with 
aceton or isoprop.

2. the encoders itself are alps.

but have special specs that are not available on website.

find some 12mm ( 12mm x 15 mm) encoders without bushing, 24 to 30 
positions, without detend , total length shaft and house 30mm , d-type 
flatted shaft. and you are good to go.

theres some with bushing here ( they might fit even with bushing ) :

code: EN12 - VS 2 0 A F 30

if you still have warranty on yours - send it back. this will be way 
more easier!
